I love this place! Crowded or not crowded. One of the great escapes from the hot summer festival scene when you need shade and AC....and a stiff drink. Food is pretty good. I highly recommend the Irish Reuben with corned beef.
Great food. The whiskey burger was phenomenal. The drinks are well made and a good selection of beer on tap. Personally my favorite Jameson Old Fashioned in Portland!
This place has a good vibe to it. I travel to London often and this pub has a very European style. The food is delicious and the service is fast.
Great place with excellent beers on tap. Scotch egg was one of the best I've had. Bangers and mash were alright, wish I had gotten the fish and chips like my wife did.
St. Patrick's event with cover charge is worth putting on your calendar. Line dance performers, live music: bagpipes, flute, acoustic and electric guitar. Swag. Irish food!
CASH event.
Expect to have a great time. 2023 cover was $25. dinner $20, drinks: $9 -$15.
If you like a good Shepards pie and a great place to chill on a Friday night, you’ve found it. Really relaxed and great atmosphere. Nice drinks and wine selection.
Found Paddy’s after our original dinner plan failed. Really glad we did! The atmosphere was great and our food was excellent. We really enjoyed our meal and we will definitely be coming back. Easy access from Max and plenty of street parking on a rainy Tuesday.
Best in the north west. Very knowledgeable staff. Great happy hour. Fantastic drink’s and really amazing ambiance. I met an Irish fellow here and he was very pleasant. He gave me a coin with a 4 leaf clover and promised me I would experience good luck for years to come. Also the bathrooms are clean
Really like coming here, Here's the scoop, though: Most of the food is really good. I expected an awesome Reuben sandwich because corned beef is kinda a thing for Irish Pubs. But it was more like corned beef and cabbage slaw on barely grilled bread. I had to mostly eat it with a fork because it was completely shredded. It's hard to take a bite of something that is falling everywhere. More sauerkraut shreds than meat by far. Very little cheese or thousand Island. Don't get me wrong,it didn't taste horrible, and I like sauerkraut, but it wasn't what I would call a Reuben. Now, their Scotch eggs, those are fire! The poutine is awesome too! Bangers and mash, beer cheese and pretzel, Their brussel sprouts should be the way all sprouts are made. I just won't order the Reuben again.
Best Ruben in PDX, the lamb French onion soup was top quality. Wouldn't miss it for the world.
I can't say much about the ambiance, the menu, or the service at Paddy's, as my one and only experience here (thus far) has been their St. Patrick's Day festival. A $25 cover is a bit steep, and the drinks served inside were smaller than I'd like, but it's a damn fine party. Live music all day, relatively quick lines, and a jovial, lively atmosphere.
Their location in downtown is a bit of a bummer; I didn't even know they existed prior to this last weekend. However, what I saw (briefly) of the interior was warmly appointed and inviting, so I cam curious to return and check things out in a more subdued atmosphere. Whether or not they're a worthy rival to Kells, Kelly's and other storied Irish bars in Portland, has yet to be determined (to me, anyway).
Came here late, the staff let us know the full menu won't be available soon and came back to take our order before that was the case. Great food and great staff. Will come back again!
My boyfriend and I traveled from Seattle to Portland for the weekend and found this gem! One of the oldest bars in Portland! Great bartenders, atmosphere was on point and the Poutine… wow!! Highly recommend and will definitely be back to try the fish and chips!
This place is a classic. It's one of my first place where I was exposed to the wide variety of spirits. They have gone through some changes over the years, but the bar and the selection of alcohol is still great. It's a place to enjoy a cocktail or two...a bourbon or whiskey...pretty much anything you want. I had an Old Forester 100 while waiting for my Bangers and Mash, which was delicious (had it to-go).
Established in 1974 Paddy's. I absolutely ♡♡ everything about this beautiful Irish pub!! First time I've ever come to an Irish pub and from our wonderful waitress to our food I give them a 4.8☆!! (On mine it allows me to give from 1 ☆ to 5 ☆) I had my very first Guinness beer and enjoyed each sip. I highly recommend this pub!! The food was amazing and I also highly recommend it. Prices are very reasonable from the drinks to your choice of food. From the ceiling to the walls on down to where your sitting always something neat to see. I will be back here again.
Good drinks, solid cocktails. Irish poutine was delicious and sharable with friends. Atmosphere was okay, lots of sports fans. Booths can be a tight squeeze if you're on the bigger side. Bathrooms are nice
Friendly Irish bloke bought my friend and I each a shot of 1951 Irish whiskey. $350 dollars a 1.5oz shot.
Can't say he'll be there, but I'm going to keep going back.
Out of towner visiting for the first time.
Staff were pleasant and accommodating. Suggestions for whiskeys was very helpful.
And then it turned interesting. Paid the bill with cash and a tip.
Left the bar and had Darren the bartender run onto the street after us. Thought I’d made a mistake by underpaying.
Seems $20’s and $50’s look much the same after a few whiskeys.
I’d OVERPAID.
Darren was honest enough to chase me down.
Of course I increased the tip.
I’ll be back. (Actually in Paddy’s now writing this review).
Downtown Portland is nice but Paddy’s takes it further to great.
Ps the food and drinks are great too
This place is by FAR the most amazing place I have ever had the pleasure of dining in. The food, AMAZING, the staff AMAZING, the atmosphere, AMAZING. We came here twice and both times were absolutely wonderful. Our waitresses both visits were equal parts attentive and hands off. We never felt rushed to check out or finish our food quickly. They allowed us to relax and eat while we figured out the next leg of our vacation. We recommend the scotch egg, the Irish poutine, the Irish mule, the ceasar dressing it to die for. The creme brulee, if it is available is on a whole different level of deliciousness. If you are in the area, I implore you to visit Paddy's and take it all in. Multiple days in a row. If necessary.
Staff was friendly and accommodating even while short staffed at a super busy time, I was told they have the best Ruben in town, and from what I experienced, I have no reason to doubt it! Flavorful and not drenched and dripping with dressing, it was a darn good Ruben. They also had a special Peated Pear cocktail that was excellent, with a strong Pear flavor complemented by the peatiness of a Laphroaig Scotch.
A bunch of us attended the margarita crawl over the weekend and with all the people most of the stops were to busy to get food so we decided to head over to Paddy's for dinner. They were not busy at the time probably due to the protests which was good for us. I ordered the scotch egg and calamari and both were fantastic!
